Hey all need alittle help on what springs and shocks to buy. Have a 71 c10. Going to be towing a trailer ever now and than. Going to be a daily driver.

Should i get 3/4 ton springs or 1/2 heavy duty ones? With the 3/4 ton ones how will the truck ride and how high would it be? Also what is the differnce between Variable Rate springs and reg springs. And what brand is good TRW,McQuay-Norris,or moog

Now the shocks i was thinking air shocks in the back and gas ones inthe front.
Pretty much i want the truck to ride nice(little bouncy ok)But be able to hual stuff when i need to.
Thanks jay
